Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Kari Kamiya]

Oh snap, I knew about Tajiri’s comment about Adventures, but I didn’t know it was so early on during its serialization. I kinda always took it as the “canon” game story as a kid.

Cutting an Arbok in half complete with Pokémon zombies being the canon game story is fucking boss, so I like to pretend everything up to Lavender Town is what Tajiri had in mind, and the rest is just Red's comatose dream. :^)

Urshifu grows toes when he gigantimaxes and it REALLY fucks with me.

Does Bea have any role in the DLC? I get she's a version exclusive character, but you'd think the Fighting-Type gym leader would have some kind of role or at least a mention with the dojo setting.

Bea practices karate, Mustard practices wushu(hence kubfu is the wushu pokemon.)

 

[CausticMinory]

After the DLC some of the Gym Leaders will appear on the IoA at random places at random times. None of them do anything interesting. That includes Bea

I had a non terrible thought. Mustard used to be the champion for 18 years before he quit. But he beat the Fairy Type champion before him... Was Opal a champion in her 70+ years as a gym leader?

The card just says that he beat the fairy type leader to become champion. Which could also imply that there was no one holding the mantle when Mustard took it.

If I'm remembering XY correctly, wasn't the Fairy-type discussed as being "recently discovered"? If so, how could a Fairy-type leader exist several decades prior?

Recently discovered is a vague statement. There are some who would consider things from the 50s to be recent discoveries.

The same thing happened with Dark/Steel, they are only called recently discovered in their debut gen, but are treated as if they were always there in generations afterwards. The statements themselves in Gens II and VI are merely there to tell the players that it's a new type.

It was like this with the entire Johto Dex. IIRC, Professor Oak says something like, "We just discovered 100 new Pokemon!" which is just a way to say, "Here kids, there's more monsters to collect." and not, "WOW! I just discovered that owls and ladybugs exist!!"

So how do you guys feel about Isle of Armor?

I like it, the new Wild Area alone is a huge plus, but I really wish they had actually incorporated more story/plot and gameplay. The plot is extremely barebones and you can finish it in one sitting. Then again, that's pretty consistent with the "story" of the main Sword/Shield game

I've been playing it in short bursts. The forest area was kind of nice, but the rest of the island feels quite bland and not too different from the Wild Area on the mainland. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's just been a series of fetch quests broken up by the odd battle, so I hope it picks up soon.

Honestly, it's disapointing for the price, not to mention how little there is to do after the 2 hour story. They did a much better job with the wild area and the wild Pokemon, and having a canon lv 75 battle is pretty cool. Pokemon following you is always cool but that should be extended to the main region and not limited to the island. It kind of feels like ultra-sun and ultra-moon where if this was included in the base game it be great but the fact that it's DLC feels insulting. It's more like a bonus map that doesn't add much to the game. Kubfoo is cute though.

I really love the rivals and how cartoon-ishly mean they are to you. They're a major upgrade from the base game's, also their themes are a treat to listen to.

I hope they make another appearance in the second part of the DLC. Probably won't happen though.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

So how do you guys feel about Isle of Armor?

It’s alright. Restricted Sparring is an interesting new “battle facility,” although it’s quite common to get screwed by randon chance. The story, while fleeting, is mostly enjoyable. I like almost all of the returning Pokémon too (Pinsir is back!).

 

[Love Machine]

I liked the dlc, but it just exacerbates the problems with the main game because the isle of armor shows that they can handle making something... Not pathetic.

 

[Ido]

I could've told you all it was going to be bad when they named it regieleki and not Regishock. I didnt buy it cuz I have shield and I want cute poison waifu instead.

The main story is a bit too short but it was still fun. I love that the wild area is right there are the very beginning and there are no routes. Pokemon following you was a pleasant surprise despite the way they handled movements and the fact that your interactions with them are almost non existent. I am actually looking forward to Crown Tundra now. I liked the rivals and I hope they come back for CT.

That sucks. But why "eleki"? "Electric" would have been way better choice imo.

It should've been Regilectric.
